What the hell are you talking about? - Can we come in? - Yeah.
- You guys have fun? - I don't know.
What's the occasion? Larry Fennigan's bachelor party.

- We tried to call you.
- Hey, look.
Stripper left her make-up bag.
Strippers? Uh, it's okay, Monk, 'cause me and, uh, the other married guys, we we went down the hall until she left.
Okay.
I'll meet you guys later.
I'm gonna go hit the tables.
- How's your luck? - Great.
I'm only down $200.
- What are you playin'? - Blackjack.
Why don't you go next door? The Mirage has some $5 tables.
$5? Those are the kiddie tables.
I'm here to make some real money.
- I got a system.
- Oh.
I didn't know you had a book.
Then you can't lose.
Come on down, see for yourself.
You can help me count my chips.
Hey, wait a minute.
I called you, Monk.
- Right.
Yeah, I called I solved something.
It was big.
Yeah, you said Daniel Thorn murdered his wife.
You said you had proof.
I did? Okay.
This way.
Over here.
Right.
This This is where she was killed.
Does any of this look familiar? I don't know.
Wait.
Captain, you-you're only supposed to take two of those.
"As necessary.
" You don't remember anything? Nothing? Um, I know I left the party upstairs at about 1:30.
Okay, okay.
Were you alone? I don't know.
I came down, I played some craps, lost some money.
I talked to someone.
Good.
There you go.
Who? It was a man.
Or a woman.
Oh, man or a woman.
That narrows it down.
So, it wasn't a child? - Could have been.
- All right, got the case file.
Lt.
Waliver said don't make any copies of it and I have nice eyes.
Okay, cause of death: Uh, ligature strangulation and a broken neck.
Waliver said you're wasting your time.
It was an accident.
She strangled on her own scarf.
Okay, let's check it out.
Uh, excuse me.
I'm sorry, these are private elevators.
The public elevators are across the lobby.
Yeah.
Um, PD.
We're just gonna look around a little bit, okay? Sure, sure.
What's, uh, going on? Can I help? Were you on duty the night Mrs.
Thorn was Why? Is this, like, an insurance thing? No, this is a "we ask you some questions and you answer" thing.
Okay, okay, but you owe me one.
Here's what happened.
They got off the elevator.
Sheryl, that's Mrs.
Thorn, said, "Do you have the tickets?" Daniel, Mr.
Thorn, checked his pockets, "No.
" She got back on the elevator, elevator doors closed, and her scarf got caught.
You could hear her screaming from inside: "Help me, Daniel.
Help me" That's pretty much it.
They found her upstairs.
And she was definitely alone? Oh, yeah, I was standing right there.
I got a question.
Were you working last night at 2:00? Oh, yes, sir.
- Was I here? - Were you here? Do you remember me? Did we talk? No, sir.
I've never seen you before.
Exactly.
We never met.
Right.
I was just testing you.
You You passed.
Good job.
Um, we're just gonna be a minute, okay? - Okay.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
So it's an express.
Yeah, it goes straight to the penthouse, non-stop.
There is an access panel.
Can we get up there? Monk, we're not supposed to be here.
Let's make it quick.
- Ok.
Look.
Thumbprint scanner.
- Yeah.
This elevator doesn't move for anyone but Thorn or his wife.
Right, it's all here.
See, Daniel Thorn, uh, pressed the elevator scanner at 5:52 to come down, and then Sheryl Thorn pressed the scanner at 5:55, three minutes later, to go back up in the elevator.
So it was definitely her.
Yeah, positive ID.
What are you doing? Look, look.
It's odd, look at her thumbprint.
It's at a weird angle.
Why would she press it like that? I would have pressed it like that.
- Wouldn't you? - Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, that is weird.
What is that? It's a fingernail.
It's dug right into the leather.
It probably broke off when she was choking to death.
No, I don't think so.
She's too far away from the door.
What do you think? I think you were right.
Something happened in here.
It was murder.
You know, some people thought that we should reschedule this groundbreaking ceremony after what happened last week.
But I know that Sheryl would want us here today.
And as you know, uh, she and I were never able to have children of our own.
So, uh, she always considered this project, this hospital to be her baby.
Our baby.
- If in 100 years - He didn't love her.
- How do you know? - I know.
with my casinos or my bestseller books.
No, it will be for this hospital.
So let's get started on this hospital.
Will somebody hold this? - What are you doing? - Poking around.
- You can't do that.
- I can do anything I want.
I'm cute.
I wanna thank everybody for coming out here today.
So let's get this thing built, huh? Well, thanks, I appreciate that.
Uh, Mr.
Thorn, do you have a minute? Yeah, sure.
No, no, no, sir, we don't want your autograph.
My name is Natalie Teeger, this is Adrian Monk.
We're here with some homicide detectives from San Francisco.
Oh, I hope you're staying here at the Monticello.
Yes, sir, we are.
We just have some questions about your wife.
And how she died.
You do? Well, uh, we have our own police force here, Mr.
Monk, and, uh, they've already looked into it.
If you want a copy of that report, I can assist you with that.
Well, I-I've already seen the report, sir.
It doesn't add up.
- Oh, yeah? What doesn't add up? - The night she died, the two of you were going to a fundraiser at the Baker Street Pavilion.
Yeah, that's right.
It was a fundraising concert.
For this hospital.
Right, but she forgot the tickets and that's why she went back upstairs.
Yeah.
These were in your pocket, sir.
Baker Street Pavilion, May 2.
Oh, my, well, uh I didn't realize they were there.
You know, if I'd have known that, she'd be alive here today.
We've spoken to some witnesses.
They said that you looked for the tickets.
They said that you checked your pockets.
They were mistaken! Look, why why don't you just relax here, Mr.
Monk, huh? You're in Las Vegas, do some gambling.
I'd be happy to comp you and your friend here.
I don't gamble.
Well, then have a drink.
Don't drink.
Well, you don't gamble, you don't drink.
You wanna know a secret? I don't, either.
You and I, we got a lot in common, Mr.
Monk.
Yes, we do.
My wife was murdered, too.
- No, Sheryl wasn't murdered.
- I think she was.
We're done here.
- Goodbye, Mr.
Monk.
Miss Teeger.
- Mr.
Thorn.
Okay, just take your time.
Does any of this look familiar? Maybe that way.
Hey, there's Randy.
Randy! Randy! How you doin'? Hey, uh, I'm down.
But that's to be expected.
Money is like the tide, it ebbs and it flows.
It's all in the book.
Right now, I'm, uh, sort of ebbing.
Uh, son, exactly how much are you ebbing? Down $800.
But that's not including the complimentary breakfast and all the free drinks.
Don't panic.
Don't panic.
The worst thing you can do is panic.
It's all in the book.
Hey, uh, how's the case coming? - Actually, we're narrowing it.
- Great.
Great.
I want to hear all about it later.
- How are you? - Julie, I'm back.
- Let's play.
- All right, here you go.
That bar.
I've been in that bar.
Hey, there he is.
This is the guy.
Hey, Leland, welcome back.
- Yeah, I think you've been here before.
- Hey, Leland, how you feeling, brother? I figured you'd be back.
You forgot this.
- Everybody is still talking about it, man.
- Thank you for last night.
You're welcome.
- "First place, karaoke contest"? - Karaoke.
Do you sing? Apparently.
Look, last night is a bit of a blur.
What did I sing? Ain't No Sunshine.
That's a good song.
You made me cry.
Sing it again.
I don't think so.
Look, um Did anything else happen? It's kind of important.
You did a lot of drinkin'.
You were very thirsty.
- Did he talk to anybody? - Hell, he talked to everybody.
You don't remember anything? - Um - Let's see.
You came in around 2:00, you sang the song, you won the trophy, you threw up, and you collapsed on a table over there.
- Was he alone? - I didn't notice.
About 10 minutes later you came back, you were all excited and you kept saying, "I solved the case!" Anything else? No, sir, you just ran outside looking for a payphone.
You sat at this table and you solved the case.
Look, do you have any idea what I meant? - No.
- I do.
You told me all about it.
Um What exactly did I say? I'll tell you on one condition.
Hi.
Remember me? Oh, Miss Teeger.
Room 1523.
Wow.
You're pretty good.
You're gonna own this place someday.
That's the plan.
Give me five years.
Listen, my friend Adrian Monk just checked in Room 1525.
That's right.
Anyway, uh, he's a little peculiar.
He has to have 60-watt light bulbs in all the lamps.
Did you try Guest Services? Yeah, there were 10 people in front of me.
Could you help me out? I would so appreciate it.
Done.
But you owe me one.
All right.
- Is that Daniel Thorn's book? - Oh, yeah.
You must be a pretty big fan, huh? I'd say I'm more of a student.
I keep my eyes open.
You can learn more in this lobby than you can at any business school.
I'm sure you can, Lewis.
I bet you have some great stories.
Well, uhLet's just say if I wrote a book about Thorn, about the things I've seen, it'd be pretty wild.
I have a perfect view of who comes and goes.
And who comes and goes with who.
- Ah.
Do you really? - Mmm.
¢Ü Ain't no sunshine when she's gone ¢Ü ¢Ü It's not warm when she's away ¢Ü ¢Ü Ain't no sunshine when she's gone ¢Ü ¢Ü She's always gone too long ¢Ü - Don't ask.
¢Ü Any time she goes away ¢Ü ¢Ü Wonder this time where she's gone ¢Ü ¢Ü Wonder if she's gone to stay ¢Ü Do the dance.
Y-you did a little dance.
¢Ü Ain't no sunshine when she's gone ¢Ü ¢Ü She's always gone too long ¢Ü ¢Ü Anytime she goes away ¢Ü Turn around, I wanna see your tush.
¢Ü I know, I know, I know, I know ¢Ü Those are different pants.
Where are the jeans? Look, lady, a deal is a deal.
I sang the song, now tell me what I said last night.
All you said was, "They don't match.
" "They don't match"? What doesn't match? I don't know.
You didn't say.
Wait, wait, wait, is that it? Is that all you got? Leland.
Sing it again.
I just love the way you sing.
Thank you.
- You were good.
- Shut up.
Daniel Thorn has a mistress.
She's a dancer at another casino.
How do you know that? Lewis the bellboy told me.
He told you just like that? - Mmm-hmm.
- Oh, that's right.
You're cute.
¢Ü I know the time is right ¢Ü ¢Ü For a rendezvous, only me and you ¢Ü - Mr.
Monk, they're not naked.
- They're naked-ish.
Well, you can't argue with that.
They are naked-ish.
Where's the Captain? He went back to get Randy out of the casino.
He's down $4,000.
What, he's never gonna leave.
Nobody walks away.
It's like a drug.
I used to gamble.
I had a big problem.
That's why I left.
- Sir, Teresa Telenko? - Yeah.
- Is he pointing? - Yes, he's pointing.
- Where is he pointing? - To a woman.
She's walking this way.
Excuse me, uh, Miss Telenko.
Hi, I'm Natalie Teeger, this is Adrian Monk.
We're, uh, working with the police department, looking into the death of Sheryl Thorn.
- Why are you telling me? - Because you're sleeping with her husband.
Sweetie, it'll take us half a day to check your phone records.
Okay, maybe that's true.
But that's my business.
Has nothing to do with his wife or what happened.
Miss Telenko, we already checked.
The night Mrs.
Thorn was killed, you called in sick.
You missed the show.
- Is he blind? - Define "blind.
" - * I I called in sick because I was sick.
I miss a lot of shows.
Would you like to see a note from my doctor? What happened to Sheryl Thorn was an accident.
She was on that elevator alone and she choked to death.
I don't think so.
Look, if you're gonna accuse me of something, the least you can do is look me in the eye.
Mr.
Monk, come on.
Thorn killed her.
I don't know how he did it, but he did it.
I think you knew something about it, either before the fact or after.
Are you arresting me? No.
Then I have a show to do.
Excuse me.
Miss Telenko.
When you talk to Mr.
Thorn, you tell him that I'm not going anywhere.
Tell him that he's smart, but I'm smarter.
And I am gonna figure out how he did it.
Is she still there? - Where's your boyfriend? - I sent him out.
I told him I needed a special kind of shampoo.
Boy, it's like you have superpowers.
It's a gift.
- And a curse? - No, just a gift.
All right, we have about 10 minutes.
Let me have the scarf.
What are you doing? - We're reenacting the crime.
You're the victim.
What if What if the elevator starts up? It'll get caught again.
It's not gonna get caught.
Then you be the victim.
No, no, no, uh, Sharona was always the victim.
- Yeah, I'm sure she was.
- No, l I can't be the victim.
I'm the detective.
I have to step back and observe the scene.
Yeah, well, I can observe stuff, too.
- A: This is a crime scene - No, no, no, no, you don't look You don't know what to look for.
Okay? I mean, we have a system.
It's a good system.
There's an old saying: "Don't change anything ever.
" - That's an old saying? - I've been saying it for years.
I know it's only $2 million.
But $2 million here, $4 million there, after a while, we're talkin' about real money.
Yeah, the answer is no.
Okay, I'm Mrs.
Thorn.
W-w-w-wait.
Oh, looks fantastic on you, by the way.
All right, all right.
We walk out.
We stop.
I forgot the tickets.
We look for the tickets.
I must've left them upstairs.
I walk back to the elevator.
I press "P" for penthouse.
The doors close.
The scarf gets caught.
Maybe somebody was hiding up there.
Well, that's possible.
But Mrs.
Thorn was yelling about the scarf, not not about some attacker.
Yeah.
So she's alone.
She presses her thumb.
Mr.
Monk! Oh, my God! Here, I have a knife.
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Almost got it.
Almost got it.
Okay, you're there, you're there! What are you doing, huh? Do you think this is funny? I mean, you you you rifle through my pockets.
- You're stepping on it.
- You make a mockery of me like this.
I just buried my wife.
We are not mocking you, Mr.
Thorn, we are trying an experiment.
I could have you arrested and I'm going to.
Are you okay? Do you need some water? - No, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
- Okay.
What? - Questions.
- Questions for me? No, I'm I'm sorry.
I'm on my way to a board meeting.
I'm already late.
It won't take a minute.
One One minute.
Did I do something to offend you, sir? I mean, why don't you let this thing go? What happened to my wife was an accident.
get onto the elevator alone.
When it stopped, she was dead.
They said your wife was screaming for help.
And that she called your name.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
I I will never forget that moment.
But just now, I was being strangled by the scarf like your wife, but I couldn't yell anything.
I I couldn't even breathe.
How do you explain that, sir? I can't explain it.
Can you? I loved my wife, Mr.
Monk.
- As much as you loved Terri Telenko? - Yeah, I know you talked to Terri.
Virtue was not one of my virtues, and, uh, Sheryl knew that.
Uh, she accepted it.
And, you know, she realized that being married to Daniel Thorn in this town had other compensations.
Now you, you don't have any idea who you're dealing with, do you? Come here.
Let Let me show you somethin'.
The local rag put this picture on the front page.
Now, I asked them not to publish it and they ignored me.
So yesterday morning, I bought controlling interest in that company so I could personally fire that son of a bitch editor and the photographer and the publisher.
Now you understand? Now, that's who you're dealing with.
I own this town.
Now, Miss Teeger, you worked at the Bellagio.
All right, so you've done your homework.
Yes, so why don't you tell your friend what the first rule of Vegas is? The golden rule.
The only rule.
The house always wins.
Always.
- Ah, there it is.
- It's ruined now.
You cut it all up.
- I saved your life.
- You could have untied it.
Hey, Monk, Natalie, I've been looking all over for you guys.
It's Randy, he's in way over his head.
He's lost his savings account, he's gonna lose everything.
- Hit me.
- Sorry, sir, that's a bust.
It's blackjack.
You try to get as close to 21 without going over.
Yeah, I think I've heard of that game.
It's not a game, believe me.
- Hey, Lieutenant, let's go take a break.
- Not now.
Hold on.
Hit me.
Sorry, sir.

They lend it to you.
Yeah, I'm in.
- Stay.
- No, take take a card.
No, he's got 18.
You don't hit on 18.
The next card's low.
It's a three, or maybe a two.
- Are you counting cards? - No.
I'm remembering them.
What do you mean you're remembering them? That's impossible.
There are eight decks in that shoe.
One card, please.
Hit him.
Take the card.
Sir? Hit me.
I don't know what happened.
I was on fire! I I couldn't lose.
I was up almost $8,000 and then I started to double and triple my bets, just like it says in the book.
- The next thing I knew - Let me see the book, Randy.
Let me see it.
Whoa, whoa.
W-What are you What are you doing? How am I gonna win my money back? You stay there.
If you go near those tables again without me, I will shoot you in the leg.
Well, a very good friend of mine has a gambling problem.
I need to do an intervention.
Maybe Randy could find a support group.
I'm talking about you, Monk.
- Me? I don't gamble.
- Yeah, that's a problem.
You should gamble.
See, you could be in there right now, gambling, winning his money back.
You can't be serious.
Monk, the kid is $35,000 in the hole.
That is his savings account, his car payment, and the down payment on his mother's condominium.
- I can't do it.
- Yes, you can.
I just saw you.
Mr.
Monk, don't listen to him.
Look, just You do that Rain Man thing.
Count a few cards.
It'll take you an hour-and-a-half.
No, no, no, look at me.
He has no idea what he's talking about.
Once you get a taste of it, you will be hooked for sure.
- You'll never leave.
- You won't get hooked.
He gets hooked on everything.
He's the most compulsive person I've ever met.
- He's like a different species.
- Thank you.
I'll be with you the whole time.
We go in there, win the $35,000 back, and then we walk away.
Nobody walks away.
Mr.
Monk, don't do it.
Mr.
Monk, it's Randy.
I have to do it.
It's Randy.
And then I'll walk away, I promise.
Can I have a different chip? This one's scratched.
- It's his first time.
- No kidding.

I mean, how are you doing? I'm good.
I'm I'm I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Monk, I really appreciate this.
I'm never gambling again for as long as I live.
- Wanna bet? - $1,000? Sorry.
We can't cover that.
There's a $500 limit.
I think we can make an exception in Mr.
Monk's case.
I mean, we're not afraid of him, are we? Nah.
You're the boss.
But first, let's make it a little more interesting.
Why don't you add two more decks to the shoe? Yes, sir.
Mr.
Monk, that's 10 decks.
That's too many.
Bring it.
If you're trying to cheat me, Mr.
Monk, we'll catch you.
I got friends hiding in the ceiling.
Friends in the ceiling? That's right.
There's an access panel above.
I know how you did it.
I know how he did it.
He murdered his wife.
Good for him.
Congratulations.
Let's play cards.
Stay.
Hit me.
Here's what happened.
You and your wife went out to that fundraiser.
She left the penthouse with you, but she never made it downstairs.
You killed her in the elevator on the way down.
You had less than two minutes, that's all the time you needed.
After all, you had help.
- Are you going to play or not? - Sorry.
Hit me.
This man is delusional.
He was discharged from the police force six years ago.
- He's not even a real cop.
- Yeah, that's true.
But we are.
Go on.
That wasn't your wife in the lobby.
That was Teresa Telenko, your mistress in disguise.
Come on, hit me! Stay! Teresa was a trained actress.
Is that why you seduced her in the first place, I wonder? I'll split these.
Stay.
Hit me.
Double down.
Hit me.
You hoisted her up through the access panel.
Hit me again.
And make it a 10.
Genius! What is that, 17? I'll stay.
Hit me.
Then Teresa took your wife's place in the elevator.
You had 45 seconds.
That was plenty of time.
Hit me and hit me.
Stay.
Stay.
The elevator door opened, and you two went into your act.
$2,000, uptown and down.
Let's keep it sassy.
Sure you wanna do that? You said you'd quit.
Natalie, I know what I'm doing.
When the door closed again, Teresa started to scream your name.
Whoa.
Blackjack.
I believe that's the name of the game.
Sheryl was already dead when she pressed the glass.
That's why her thumbprint was upside down.
Wait.
I wanna raise my bets.
You said it yourself, you have friends hiding in the ceiling.
It was a perfect plan.
Everybody knew Sheryl was always catching her scarf on something.
Nobody was surprised when it happened again.
This is a very interesting fairytale, Mr.
Monk, but that's all it is: A fairytale.
There might be something in the elevator shaft: Blood, hair.
You'd need a court order to even look.
Which you're not gonna get, not in this town.
So, unless you got something else I did, I had it.
I had proof, I just can't remember it.
It doesn't matter.
You're leaving anyway.
This man here is cheating.
He's been counting cards.
I want him and his friends out of here now.
Wait, wait, wait! I'm on fire here.
Look, double down! No, no, no, I told you, Mr.
Monk.
The house always wins.
- Hey! - Trust me, even is better.
- No more bets.
- What the hell? - Hey, man.
That's for you.
Thanks.
- Thank you.
- But you said you'd walk away.
- I did.
I walked away.
You were dragged away, Mr.
Monk.
- Should we call Lt.
Waliver? - He can't do anything without proof.
That game with the dice, that looks like a lot of fun.
Craps? Yeah.
Craps, I can show you how to play that.
I got a great book.
- Okay.
- Probably still have a little bit of time.
- Randy, give me the money.
- You'll get it back when you get home.
- I'm not 10 years old.
Yeah, that's true.
Give me the money.
Mr.
Stottlemeyer.
Here.
Groundskeeping found these in the bushes.
Are they yours? - Yeah, these are my pants.
- Well, don't worry, sir.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Monk.
This is it.
Remember I was saying that they didn't match? I was talking about the pictures.
Look, look, look, look, look.
See, that's her body, right? She's wearing hoop earrings.
- So? - So, check this out.
Moments before she gets on the elevator - Different earrings.
- Different girl.
I'll call Waliver.
That's enough for a search warrant.
How many people read this paper? So, that means if if I'm drunk as a skunk, completely plastered, I'm as smart as you.
Smarter.
They found hair and rope fiber on top of the elevator.
With that and those photographs, we got him.
- Mr.
Monk.
- Daniel.
Don't go now, Mr.
Monk.
This game of ours is far from over, my friend.
I will be out by tomorrow morning.
I wouldn't bet on it.
Hey, Professor.
I'm playing a few hands.
Should I save you a seat? I can't, thanks.
- Good luck.
- Yeah.
You said you gambled? I couldn't stop.
I was a mess.
But you walked away.
How did you do it? I had Mitch.
How did you do it? I have you.
